Business Framework: Turnaround Management

Project request submitted by pptlab892

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

What is Turnaround Management? Description

Turnaround Management involves the formulation and implementation of a strategic plan and a set of actions for corporate renewal and restructuring, typically during times of severe corporate financial distress. Often with the help of outside turnaround consultants or strategy consultants, a Root Cause Analysis is made and a turnaround plan is devised and executed, assuming that the firm still offers the potential to return to financial solvency, profitability and strategic viability.

PPT Lab is a crowdsourced presentation design service. We are a very cost-effective way for you to receive consulting-quality business presentations on an ongoing basis. As a member, you will receive 50+ slides each month. You will drive what types of presentations we create. In fact, all presentation topics are submitted and prioritized by members.
Our presentations are developed by a team of management consultants trained in the art of designing professional business presentations fit for an executive audience. Our presentations will follow the Consulting Presentation Framework. For more info, please read our terms.

The Consulting Presentation Framework is a set of guidelines commonly used by top tier management consultancies. These guidelines specify the font styles, basic grammar rules, and usages of various sections of the slide—most notably the Headline, Title, and Bumper (see diagram below). Following this framework ensures a professional and uniform look throughout your business presentation.

This framework is used to create business presentations that focus on content (e.g. boardroom presentations, market research presentations, final deliverables). It is generally not used for presentations that have minimal content and require a companion voiceover (e.g. Venture Capital pitches).
